[Typo3-dev] Wizards and workflows

[dan frost]

Dear all,

I'm just building a wizard/workflow extension where users will be able to:
1. Click "wizard" on the drop-down
2. go through a few steps to create/edit/do something

The "steps" are to be defined in XML like:

<wiz>
   <wfdef>
     <start>1</start>
     <end>__end__</end>
   </wfdef>
   <step>
     <id>1</id>
     <screen>
10 = TEXT
10.value = this is a screen...
     </screen>
     <nextstep>wiz:1/2</nextstep>
     <conditions>

     </conditions>
    </step>
</wiz>

So you'll be able to add steps into it or create completely new wizards 
in the future. This XML is stored in a content element.

I have some questions:
1. Has anyone done - or is anyone doing something like this?
2. How should new steps be built? In TypoScript, Php or something else?
3. Any thoughts?
